Hence Mohawk not protesting after the takedown.
No problem here.
I agree with you that neither guy really had time to react, but Mohawk seems a little bothered by it.

MMAJUNKIE.COM: At one point in the second round, Steve Mazzagatti yells for you guys to break just as Dante trips you to the mat. Do you think the fight should have been stood up?

BRANDON SENE: Yeah, that honestly bothered me. If you re-watch the fight or if you were watching it last night, I was clinched with Dante repeatedly. The action would stall, and I would just stand there staring at [Mazzagatti]. It probably looked like I was looking at my coaches, but I was looking at him trying to get him to restart us.... I knew he was going to break us up when I saw that he was walking over to us, so I kind of relaxed, but at the same time, that's right when Dante tripped me to the mat. But [Mazzagatti] said "stop," so I looked up at him, and he was just like "continue." I think we should have restarted... The only reason to argue such a small point is that every little thing mattered in that fight, and it could have decided whether or not there was a third round.
